Suggest to mention not to rely on cheap chinese (claimed) stainless steel , as its normally only 302 quallity. Will rust quickly with salt water. Use marine grade 316 made various western countries.
When I’m at the surface, and I let go of my primary second stage, sometimes I have a hard time finding it again. Would you recommend a bungee necklace?
I prefer to have my secondary second stage on a necklace. If you let go of your primary, you just take the secondary and then look for the primary. The benefit of having the secondary second stage on a necklace is that, if something goes wrong with your primary, you know where your secondary is. Having to look for your secondary in that situation is far worse than having to look for your primary. If you're not using a primary donate setup, use a silicone necklace for your secondary second stage so you can yank it loose when you need to donate it.
Only - people who always carry rechargeables, like flashlight, tend to forget to recharge or go without checking in a pinch, exactly because it's always on the rig.
The great thing about a clip is that you can also take it off your rig. Take it off your rig when you get home. Clip it on to the rig when you go diving.
@@bloodymarvelous4790 Sooo many ways it can go wrong. - Forget to unclip it from the float and bring home. - Forget to recharge - Remember you should recharge but too late to do so. - Recharge but leave for too long so charge fizzes or flashlight dies. - Forget to bring - Bring but forget to clip on - Clip on but forget reduced burn time due to winter cold. .- Times two because of your rechargeable spare.
@@ttb1513 Well there is that 😄👍 I’m kinda being tongue in cheek. Still - back in the day you could just carry a box of batteries in your car or boat and leave the torches in the crate. Of course back then the trouble was that people would then forget to change batteries or keep track of how much they used, or which batteries were the fresh or used ones after. But at least you weren’t completely stranded at the site if something was off. And its usually faster buying a a regular battery once you’re out there than charging for 4-5 hours. I guess the main solution is just redundancy as always. I usually carry two old battery charged torches that I can leave with the gear, along with a battery supply, and one with rechargeable batteries and a set of charged spare batteries. I used to have one with a big builtin battery but it could only be charged from a wall wart and it took a while. That’s my main gripe with rechargeables is you have to plan ahead so much and when you’re out you’re out.
They cut a pice of innertube to make a strong elastic band. To mount it on the webbing they take they have to undo the harness, mount the elastic band and redo the harness. It's rather laborious but only has to be done once.
At 5 lbs I'm assuming it's a rig, and not just the camera. You should have an eye on the rig somewhere. Use a double ender bolt snap to clip it off to a D-ring.
Use a double ender bolt snap. You don't need to tie them off and one end attaches to the item and the other can be detached and used to hold on to the item.
Double enders definitely have their place in SCUBA diving, but not for clipping off a knife, handheld light, or whistle. There is nothing to clip on to. You need to tie them to a bolt snap, and a small eye bolt snap is the right tool for the job there. Double enders are great for spools, reels, dSMB's, and Goodman handles.
No crotch strap. You only need to move the buckle to the side if you have a crotch strap so you can access the buckle. The real question is, why doesn't his BP&W have a crotch strap.
